Take the cross down?

An atheist friend of mine posted this on Facebook saying that she didn't agree with the FFRF trying to get this cross taken down. As a veteran and an atheist, I tend to agree for a couple reasons. First, I see it as simply a memorial to a fallen soldier and no more no less. Secondly, and maybe more importantly, this cross has been there for years and years. Why waste taxpayers dollars on the legal fight... I don't see it hurting anything.. Thoughts?

The erection of these structures is in effect subliminal advertising. It serves as a form of subconscious reinforcement that you live in an environment where the religion of choice is a christian one. To allow these structures to remain only helps perpetuate the myth of Jesus and his reason for dying. Public property has to remain a fortress for secular freedom. Whether an inscription of the Ten Commandments or a scene of the nativity ALL religious displays have no place on public property. To permit religious structures to remain is in effect allowing discrimination to survive and persist.
